Flower Petal People by Thomas Troso
Sonnet Poetry Contest contest entry

The daisies born in April bloom in May
The babies born take eighteen years to grow.
It's interesting in the peculiar way
that daisies die upon the fall of snow.

For humans are endurant and complex,
and daisies give into the test of time.
And hair like petals cover up our necks
like angels joint in guarding the divine.

But why are flowers so unlucky then?
If they reflect the beings of our age;
I picked a flower from the lion's den
and now the lion lives within a cage.

If roses red, and violets blue is true
then why do people have these feelings too?
